The Sporting Tyne
Ian Whitehead
£5.50
The History of professional rowing on the Tyne. Rowing was to Tyneside in Victorian times what football is to day. Great crowds would gather to support their heroes - men like Harry Clasper, Robert Chambers and James Renforth. This book tells their story as well as the development of such rowing innovations as the sliding seat.
Cinemas of Gateshead
£7.50
This fascinating book traces the history of Cinemas in Gateshead from ’flea pits’ to ’dream palaces’. Read about the early beginnings in 1896 through the inter-war glory years, when picture houses were by far the most popular form of entertainment, with no significant rivals apart from radio and dance halls, through the declining years of the sixties and seventies, back to the resurgence of the new multi-cinemas. This is a must for anyone who loves cinema or remembers the old cinemas of the area.
